THE Mariners made the perfect start to their Uni-Bond League
Premier Divisioncampaign as they came away from Wakefield with three
comfortable points.

The game was only seven minutes old when Nicky Young fired in a
free-kick from just outside Emley's penalty box.

Keeper Danny Trueman could only parry and Lee Parle was in the
right place to tuck the ball away It was much of the same in the second
half as Marine's back four stood firm, leaving Andy Ralph a
spectator.

On 55 minutes the home team were indebted to Nicky Wood for a
goalsaving block from Kissock. With his first touch, Aaron Rey was
through on goal but Trueman made a comfortable save. Then Darren
Brookfield was put through and again Trueman stood firm.

Two minutes from the end, Paul Byrne struck a 20-yard shot into the
bottom left-hand corner of Trueman's goal to seal a deserved
victory for the Mariners.

Only 107 people, the lowest Premier attendance of the day, saw the
game.
